Nyangweso responds to Oktay allegations on Ulinzi Stars penalty against Gor Mahia

Ulinzi Stars head coach Benjamin Nyangweso says the referee was right to award his team a penalty against Gor Mahia in a Kenyan Premier League (KPL) match on Sunday.

The Soldiers were awarded a penalty in the 58th minute when young defender Geoffrey Ochieng was adjudged to have fouled Enos Ochieng inside the box. The latter successfully made the spot kick conversion to earn his 13th goal of the season and a 1-1 draw against the Kenyan champions.

The decision to give Ulinzi Stars a penalty has elicited mixed reactions from Gor Mahia fans and coach Hassan Oktay but Nyangweso insists that the match official got the decision right.
